Mile Hi church Reverend praises the value of the turban and is met with applause. This is meaningful interfaith.
"500 years ago in India the caste system was in high swing, there was a lot of violence, there was a lot of wars, it was a very difficult time. The last Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, was speaking to a group of Sikhs, and he said, among other things, "I would like for you all to wear a turban."
A turban is an article of faith, much like a Christian would wear a cross. "I want you to wear a turban." He said, because in a crowd if there is a person who is in need, who is hungry, who needs protection, who needs care, they will be able to spot your turban and know without a doubt that they could go right to you and you will care for them and you will do no harm.
